  The Sisters Brothers 2018

  ★★★★ Watched 30 Jun 2024

  wow this movie is stunningly beautiful. gorgeous in its landscape and brilliant in its score. i love this narrative structure that follows two parties towards their inevitable confrontation. since each set of characters is presented empathetically, the audience roots for both, creating greater tension and heartbreak when their meeting unfolds. i’ve more commonly found familial relationships to be tragically complex, and so to ultimately focus the narrative on the sisters brothers rather than morris and warm manifests deeper poignancy, which strikes effectively through to the film’s fantastic ending

  great job immersing the audience into the action through the journalists’ lenses. wish there was more of Plemons, Lee, and Lai 😔

  Spider-Man 2 2004

  ★★★★★ Watched 05 Jun 2024

  Hilarious. Horrific. Heroic. Happy to be alive to watch movies like this. I think the awkward goofy humor here speaks more to me than any of the other marvel movies. The slasher moments with Otto give so much stylistic flair to the antagonistic elements of the film. The action choreography carries so much more impact and excitement than the previous film. Peter has never elsewhere struggled so pathetically and achieved such redemption. Quintessential movie in my life. Love wins!
